Shell and the World Endurance Championship

Shell has returned to the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) as Official Fuel Partner to the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO).

A new generation of Shell V-Power racing fuels has been developed in partnership with the ACO, the FIA and the competing manufacturers. Greater performance with reduced consumption lays the foundation for future road models.

24 Hours of Le Mans and Shell

The crowning event of the season is the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours, one of the most important annual sporting occasions in the world. The rest of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) season is no less momentous: a series of six hour races stretching from Europe to the Middle East, Asia and the USA.

Shell V-Power gasoline and diesel racing evolved for the 2014 season to help the competing manufacturers – Audi, Porsche and Toyota – achieve a 30% reduction in consumption. The joint efforts made to achieve this goal and continue development going forward, means that all competitors benefit from Shell V-Power racing fuels, which provide a blend of speed and sustainability that has never been more spectacular.
